Entry requirement: the minimum entry requirement for the MPhil/PhD route is:


  • a first-class or upper second-class UK honours degree
  • a relevant master’s qualification

Applications from those holding qualifications other than the above will be considered on their merits and in relation to the nature and scope of the work proposed. 


This is the same as for the MPhil/PhD route, except that the student must demonstrate an exceptional level of preparedness and aptitude for PhD study, for instance in the form of an MPhil degree or an outstanding performance at Masters level in an area very closely aligned with the PhD.

You should not undertake more than 20 hours per week paid employment or other commitments (including a maximum of six hours per week teaching, demonstrating, or other paid work directly related to your research training).
